lostwolfe: i'd like to start by saying that i very much appreciate you looking into this topic.

i figured that - since i broke my silence not so long ago, i may as well tell you folks about my let's play channel, since that's sort of appropriate for here.

so. the aa meeting part:

hi, everyone!
i'm lostwolfe!
i've been playing video/computer games since 1979.

though, the first real game that completely blew my mind was king's quest iii. up until then, games had been about high scores and beating my friends. king's ques iii was the first game that challenged me and got me to think about solving puzzles.

right now, i'm playing through police quest ii, but i've been through all of the [what i think of as canon] agi quest games and plan to do the same for the sci games.

if you'd like to have a look-see at what i'm doing, feel free to go here for the main channel.

from there, you can take your pick for what to watch.

i am attempting to get back into uploading once a week like i was doing before my computer blew up :P

thank you, again, for looking into this topic and thank you very much if you choose to look into my channel. i very much appreciate it.

edited: oops. my url syntax was terrible :P

Terrapin2190: +1 for Sierra games. They made a lot of top quality stuff way back when. Ahhh... let's go back there for a minute :)

lostwolfe: lol. a "minute" for me turned into about five years. it's been a blast playing through the sierra games from scratch and i'm grateful that folks find what i'm doing interesting enough to watch.

but i absolutely agree. there were /some/ terrible things in the designs of those games, but they're great for what they are when they were made. i don't think there's nearly as much heart and soul put into games, now. it's all design by committee and lowest common denominator.

i feel much the same way about lucasarts - which is why i've played the dig. it's just a wonderful experience that you're not likely to get in modern aaa gaming.

thank you - so much - for taking the time to look into my channel and into the games i am playing. i appreciate it greatly.

Terrapin2190: hah, even now when installing a few Sierra games, it asks for you to specify the install directory, then proceeds to tell you "The game must be installed to 'C:\Sierra\' format. I always got a laugh out of that. Like 'hmm... well that doesn't leave me much choice.'

Makes me want to root around and see what Sierra games I have tucked away in my stash...
